Cupping Evaluation
Cupping Details
This coffee opens sweetly, with sniffs of maple, dried fruit and malt. The body is full and smooth, but just a little sticky on the palate. The flavor balance complex, but subtle, making for pretty easy drinking. At it's brightest it is definitely mallic- cidery, round and a little jammy. Caramelly, honeyed and reminiscent of panela sugar this coffee leads with its sweetness, bolstered by the rich and nutty tones of cocoa and peanut butter in the bitterness. As the flavor diminishes it lingers sweetly with hints of caramel and dark chocolate.

Leading into the tasting, smells are sweet, chocolatey and nutty. It's body is juicy, full and smooth. Acidity comes across cleanly- fruity and balanced. Sweetness is the main event, caramelly, fruity and decadent. This is complemented by soft bitterness of nuttiness, chocolate with hints of baking spices. In the aftertase all of the flavors in the cup harmoniously linger and taper off smoothly.
